Chapter 3. {The red bra}

She finally finished writing the apology letter but instead of thirty minutes he gave her, it took her more than fifty minutes to finish.

Maya held the piece of papers tightly walking into his office. Jacques was busy working on some files when she did.

"I'm...done sir" She said, dropping them on his desk.

"Maya....what time is it?" He asked not raising his head up to her.

"I'm sorry sir...i_"

"20% percent deducted from your salary".

"SIR!! But sir i_"

"Make me coffee". He interrupted.

"Yes sir" She sighed sadly while taking her leave.

"Maya," He called again.

"Yes sir" She replied solemnly.

"Take those with you. I don't want my office littered" He referred to the apology letters she dropped on his desk.

"Yes sir" Maya took the letters ,silently fuming.

"Then I'll go get the coffee" She bowed slightly, dragging her feet out solemnly.

After thrashing the apology letters, she marched to the pantry to make him his goddamn coffee.

"@sshole"

"Jerk!"

"Sh*t head"

"Despicable wizard!" She keeps cussing as she brews the coffee.

"I hate him, I hate him, I hate him!!" She stomped her feet on the floor.

"Ugh!!" She let out a frustrated sigh, then took the coffee which was already ready. She was about heading out when something came to her mind. She let out a devilish smile and turns back. Looking left and right to make sure no one is around to see her, she then spit massively into the coffee stirring it together.

JACQUES' OFFICE.

"Here is your coffee sir" She dropped the coffee in front of him and watched him bring it to his mouth to take a sip.

She tried as hard as she could to maintain a neutral face and not to laugh out at him.

"You can leave now. I believe your work here is done for today" He said dropping the coffee on the desk.

"Yes sir. Then I'll take my leave sir". He nodded , facing his work . Maya bowed slightly, then walked out of his office suppressing her laughter. She rushed to her seat, powered off the system then took her bag and rushed out of there before he called her back.

---

Shortly after Maya left, Jacques stretched his arms and yawned out loudly. Clearly he was already tired from working all day. He took the cup of coffee and drained down every content in it, then belched.

He closed his laptop, stood up and took his coat while wearing it. He then proceeded to take his bag but he spotted something on the floor just beside the chair. He crouched down and took the thing but on seeing what it was, he threw it down ,cringing.

"Oh, Maya" He shook his head staring at her red bra which seemed to have dropped from her earlier.

Maya couldn't help bursting out in a boisterous laughter as she walked to the elevator. She pressed the button and it opened.

"Maya! You're still here" Morris called behind her and she looked back.

"Oh, Morris" She smiled, arranging her scattered hair.

"It pretty late...didn't expect you to be here by this time" .She said to him as they both entered the elevator.

"Things happened", He replied sweetly.

"Is the CEO giving you a hard time?" He asked.

"Well...a day does not pass by without him giving me one. Working with him is like walking on thorns with bare feet"

"It's gonna be alright. You are a strong lady so I'm sure you'll be able to deal with it all" Morris placed his palm on her shoulder. Maya couldn't help but gush.

"You're so sweet!" She cooed making him chuckle.

Morris is actually the team leader of the planning team. He's tall, handsome, hot and charming. He's an eye candy and a hunk, to top it all he's got the nicest character and the sweetest smile. Morris is a typical example of a ladies' guy. He is chivalrous, respects ladies, and a gentle man. The perfect boyfriend material. Though Amaya has been giving him the green light for almost two years now, he never noticed being the blind Barthlomew he was.

The elevator opened and they both walked to the garage. Morris had actually offered to drive her home and she saw no reason why she had to decline the offer.

They were chatting and giggling when a familiar red sport car stopped right by their side. Their giggles died down immediately and was soon replaced by a frown.

The glass wind down revealing their one and only Boss. Amaya and Morris said nothing as they just wondered what he could want.

"Maya?" He called in his usual flinty voice.

"Ye...yes si..rr" Amaya stammered wondering what she could have done wrong again.

"I believe...this is yours" He raised up her red bra holding the strap with his finger like it's some kind of dirt. Maya's eyes widened as the saw this. Morris cleared his throat, looking away.

"Aren't you taking it?" Jacques asked, pointing the bra to her like it's a torture to him holding it like that. Amaya immediately took it from his hand.

"Th...tha...than...k yy...you s..irr", she stuttered embarrassingly.

He only nodded before winding up the window glass and drove off. Maya's eyes followed his car with burning rage, death glare and steam fuming out of her ears and nose,Literally.

She squeezed the bra in her hand and clenched her teeth.

"That jerk!"

Maya entered her average apartment looking super weary. She went to her room straight throwing herself on the bed without even taking her heels off. The day has been really hectic and had drained 90% of her stamina.

Her phone dinged and she groaned, taking it from her pocket lazily.

“Dog ran out of food . Get some over tomorrow morning”. It was a message from her great boss.

She sighed and dropped the phone on the bed. She was even too tired to cuss him out. if there's one thing she really wanna do right now, that's certainly to sleep.

JACQUES' MANSION.

"Jacqui get him!" Gary commanded a black fluffy dog which he was playing with earlier before Jacques came in. The dog left his side barking and ran towards Jacques who was approaching them.

"Hey man" Jacques drop to a squat patting the dog which was wagging its tail happily and sticking its tongue out at him.

"Did you have fun without me? Good boy" He smiled,rubbing its fur then stood up.

"You didn't tell me you were coming" Jacques said, taking off his suit.

"Why? Are you gonna sue me for trespassing? Look well ,I ain't Dora" Gary joked while Jacques rolled his eyes.

"You want me to throw you out?"

"Just joking" Gary nudged him.

"Come here Jacqui!" He clapped his hands at the dog which ran to his arms immediately.

"Good boy..." Gary beamed, playing with its fur.

"I thought I told you not to call it my name again" Jacques frowned.

"But you wouldn't give it a name" Gary retorted.

"Why should I when it already has one?"

"Which is? Dog? Seriously Jacq? You want me to call this fluffy good looking thing dog? You can't be any serious"

"A dog is a dog. What should I have called it if not dog? B*tch?" He asked with a raised brow.

"Seriously you..." Gary scoffed..

"Just forget it. Jacqui is perfect. Since the owner is Jacques then the dog should be also. Woof! Woof!!" He barked at his face.

"Go home. I wanna rest" Jacques stood up ,unbuttoning his shirt buttons.

"I came here to sleep with you. I'm not leaving" Gary said determined.
